From the employee logistics standpoint you want to avoid weekends. Also want to avoid mon/fri as those are frequent days taken as vacation (as well as observed holidays). So tues/wed/thurs would probably be ideal from that perspective.

I would guess that those days also align with the least user impact in this case.

So for planned patches it would seem to make sense to pick a day early in that window so you hopefully have time to respond to urgent issues still in that same timeframe.
